they're up here you feel like you're on top of the world
we're in these ruins the origin as he keeps saying and not many come here
we're Alex and Lindsay were two travelers who were exploring South
America suddenly a strict lockdown began in Peru and we've been stuck ever since
along the way we took in a stray dog and he hasn't left our side it's been months
and we're still here so we're documenting the whole
experience and sharing it with you so we're about to go somewhere really
special we don't know where really someone
reached out and only really talked to Lindsay so I'm just here for the ride I
know that we're going on an hour-and-a-half Drive and then a half
hour hike up to see sunset so can't go wrong with that all right let's go meet
our hosts and get a ride hi my name is Mikey and I am a tour guide today we're
going to have a very nice experience where the origin is right where mango
Kappa oh mama oh you put the gold bar on earth let's go
all right we just arrived look at the landscape look at those mountains back
there and all around we just drove 40 minutes and we can see the back of the
mountain that we're going to right now and we're gonna hike about a half hour
up this is a mountain that not a lot of people who visit Cusco get to see it's
gonna be a spectacular view or so excited so this is kind of a hidden gem
one of those experiences that we like to try to get nature we missed this we
don't have to worry about covered here
you can see the moon
this one what is it called oh that's the highest oh I also got and the second
high so nothing is said I can't I and we're going to get to see it too we're
going to be in a place where we can see in 360 degrees everything that surrounds
Cusco Wow can't wait for that so this is ichu it's a type of grass and it only
grows at 4000 meters above sea level and we're just surrounded by it but the time
we get up to the top we're gonna be 40 100 meters above sea
Wow look at the view already we're not even close to the top yet
so this is a vodka here Oh waka is a place of worship kind of
like a temple in a way and it's where people of importance would meditate get
closer to God and here we are
Wow okay that is a steep drop if you can't tell so for a little bit we're
leaving the aisle Wacha and we're going up to the highest point there's
something about just being out in nature when there's no one else around
pretty spectacular you guys come to cusco not during covin there's gonna be
lots of tours being offered probably in a lot of bigger groups but we would
recommend going in the smaller groups spending a little extra money to do that
it really enhances the experience a lot
the beginnings and guys one of the best parts about this to her they want to
take mr. Potato Head with it so he gets to be part of this experience with us
we're here on the top at four thousand one hundred meters above sea level this
is the top of mountain wanakawri and according to the legend of Mahamaya oh
this is the place where they came and buried the gold bar so because it was
the gods command they looked at the beautiful valley and they said yeah we
have to found our empire here so if that legend was true this is where they
decided to found cusco look at the view of these mountains over here perfect a
potata here for the Incas is the highest part of a place where you go through in
a Vegeta's we leave all bad vibrations all bad
thoughts mean we may have and we are ready to go to a sacred place so I have
these two stones from here and I'm gonna leave all the bad energy behind
so guys I would have gotten a lot more amazing drone shots for you but
something is wrong with the drone hoping we can fix it so we can get a lot more
in Peru when we start traveling but something is very wrong and it just
dives down whenever it wants straight into the ground so we just got done
stretching and soaking in this beautiful scenery in the moment and they set up
this perfect little date spot for us to enjoy the view they brought two chairs
and like we said this was a half hour hike so they brought this up here they
brought a tent some champagne oh wow and he's gonna make us some coffee and we're
gonna sit and just take in this view take a seat many Musa he doesn't know
what to think of all this what we were stretching news whining he's probably
like what are you guys doing also we found out how inflexible we are also
we'd like to share with you special treats because you deserve it I can feel
a lot of love in the air and you have to celebrate it yeah
okay push it down thank you you want more we'll be there thank you this has
been absolutely perfect and the greatest way to celebrate the first day without a
lockdown in cusco they set up this cute romantic little date night with a view
with a tent it's just we couldn't have set this up better ourselves like we're
in the middle of nowhere in the hills in the mountains they got us food and it
has pulta on it you know it's like they know us we have this champagne that's so
good a coffee it's even better there's our
coffee our fresh-squeezed orange juice is so good
champagne bag dinner this feels like such a treat after a long 107 days of
lockdown and it just happened to fall on this day - we could have had this tour
on any day and it happens to be right when lockdown ended and just the perfect
ending and this is what we're looking at right now serious coos go
so that's Cusco down there when you're up here you feel like you're on top of
the world you are above everything just looking down looking up the majesty of
this place and actually one of my favorite parts is that you can see the
moon just glowing above you
you can see the moon right there and right across the way the Sun so we've
had an awesome date champagne food dinner we were served under a tent
really amazing the best part is we're in this walk that we're in these ruins the
origin as he keeps saying and not many people not many come here and even the
locals don't really know much about this place and what's really cool to do it
when you're in spaces like this is to sit and envision what the people way
back then many years ago how they felt when they were in this exact same space
so this place has a lot of significance in Cusco if the legends are true so
right up on this hill over here where we just were that is supposedly where they
decided long ago that Cusco would be so they set Cusco here as they came over
this pass
